egyszín

Egyszín, or egyszínű, is a Hungarian term meaning a surface or object colored with a single, uniform color throughout, without patterns or gradients. In design it denotes a solid fill used for backgrounds, logos, textiles, and user interfaces. An egyszín surface is contrasted with multicolored or patterned surfaces, and with gradients that vary in tone.

In printing and manufacturing, achieving a true egyszín requires precise color specification. Pantone or other color systems are used to reproduce a single color consistently across materials. In digital media, a solid color is represented by a single set of channel values, and is often encoded by a hexadecimal color code such as #RRGGBB.

The term is common in fashion and textiles, where egyszínű fabrics or garments are dyed in a uniform color. In branding, an egyszín logo emphasizes simplicity and recognizability. In art and photography, a solid color can function as a field or grounding element, while lighting and material properties can create perceptual variation even on an egyszín surface.

Etymology: from egy (one) and szín (color). Related terms include egyszínűség (uniform color, monotony) and monochrome, solid color, or monochromatic schemes in color theory.
